Back Cover:

In the Chatsworth Reservoir, street workers shoo wildlife from the ragged remains of what was once a middle-aged man. Los Angeles Sheriff Jim O’Brian along with Sheriff-Elect Samantha Pritchard are called to investigate and surprised to learn the victim’s identity as a local U.S. Marshal. The investigation rapidly escalates to the federal level after FBI Special Agents John Swenson and Chris Mantel join in. But the solitary homicide quickly evolves as more victims are discovered, and the hidden lives of those in law enforcement are brought to light courtesy of a cruel and sadistic killer.

From the inside flap:

U.S. Marshal Hal Styles was simply another missing person until his brutalized remains were located in the Los Angeles wilderness. Special Agents John Swenson and Chris Mantel join Sheriff Jim O’Brian and Sheriff-Elect Samantha Pritchard after discovering the victim’s sexual tastes ran to the exotic and included hookups with strangers via personal ads. When yet another U.S. Marshal is murdered and found to have been eaten alive, the four rush to stop a killer with an unfathomable appetite for deviance and carnage… behavior so challenging that it’s not even on the Iron Eagle’s radar.
